, television magazine programmes and entertainment shows. The data collected relate to the entire production chain, including pre-production, production, post-production, royalties, duplication, dubbing, subtitling, distribution and promotional costs. The 10 countries covered are: Mexico, Colombia, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Egypt, Jordan, India, Cambodia and Latvia. This is a useful tool to independent filmmakers, producers, commissioners, broadcasters, donors and development institutions involved in audiovisual work." (CAMECO Update 1-2008)

ct African countries: Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Uganda. Our project has three broad strands: - Population surveys of knowledge and attitudes toward TJ issues in project countries; - In-country training of 20 selected journalists, as well as activities designed to engage the support of their managers or editors; - Follow-up activities via online learning, Internet, and local mentoring. The project is designed to ensure continued commitment from local actors— especially journalists—to improve the quality and quantity of TJ coverage. The training of journalists is seen as a key factor in providing better information to the public. This Handbook is not meant to be an exhaustive guide. However, we hope that it will provide a useful, quick-reference manual on key TJ issues. It is designed principally for journalists, but we hope that it may also prove useful to civil society actors and all those concerned with moving transitional justice forward."

"Trauma is at the heart of news — and of the human condition. How it’s reported gives those who weren’t there their first understanding of what a traumatic event means. Personally. For their families and loved-ones. For their community and their nation. Indeed, for the world as a whole. The jo

urnalism of trauma matters, and journalists have a profound responsibility to tell the story well. Their work can reflect, reinforce, and calm — or exacerbate — the grief and distress that ripples out from death and injury. Covering trauma, whether major international stories or events much closer to home, can also have an impact on those who do the reporting. Like the police, the fire and medical services, like military personnel and rescue workers, journalists are professional first responders to crisis and disaster. But they’re among the last of those groups to recognise the psychological implications of that responsibility. Just as sports reporters and financial journalists don’t open a notebook without a professional knowledge of their field, neither should those who report violence and tragedy. This handbook is the fruit of a Dart Centre consultation with journalists across the world, and it distils the expertise of the best international trauma experts." (Introduction)

"Welcome to this module on children‘s rights for journalists. The objective of the module is to provide you, the trainee journalist, with the concepts and the information that will help you to develop responsible news reporting skills that appreciate and respect children's rights [...] The module
...
is organised into two main units. Unit 1, Introducing Children‘s Rights, provides the background to why understanding rights is so important and will look at good practice as well as the problems and challenges that arise in reporting news concerning children. Unit 2, Children‘s Rights and Professional Journalism Practice, deals with professional journalism practice from a children's rights perspective and looks at the policies and the contexts in which we need to think about how to improve our work as journalists. The material presented here should be read alongside the many supporting references and recommendations for further reading. We hope that what you learn in the module will provide a foundation and a reference point for all forms of news reporting but particularly so when children are central to the story." (Pages 5-7)

tulo de Jaume Vilalta en esta colección (El espíritu del reportaje) era eminentemente teórico, éste es un libro práctico y resolutivo que aporta soluciones prácticas para filmar, editar y escribir un documental. Reflexiona además sobre cuestiones éticas que se presentan en el día a día del periodismo. El objetivo de este libro, no obstante, no es ser un tratado acerca de las técnicas de rodaje y montaje. El sentido de los capítulos relacionados con las técnicas narrativas audiovisuales es ayudar a pensar hacia donde tiene que apuntar la cámara, qué posibilidades nos ofrece el montaje y cómo adecuar la narración oral para mejorar el conjunto. Explica, en definitiva, lo que indefectiblemente tiene que conocer el equipo que aborde un documental." (Editorial)
